This is really a question more in line with PCSOFT, but I will answer it
here since it got through the moderators. I don't know why Office 2k
clobbered you backup, but we have seen it do bad things to other software as
well:(

As a workaround, locate the backup EXE file and copy the UISERVE.DLL to the
same directory as the EXE. You will likely get a new error message which
points to another missing DLL that is likely in the same folder as the
UISERVE was. In this case, it would seem that the registry was damaged in
reference to some common file pointers such as the ...\backup\system entry.
Specifically how to fix it, I am not sure. When you re-installed the backup
software, did you first remove it?

This is the first time I've posted a question - so thanks for your help!
Here is my problem.
Have a standard G6-400 Gateway, with a Seagate ST T2000A tape backup added.
 The backup worked fine until Office 2000 was added.  Now the tape backup
gives the error "A required .dll file UISERVE.DLL was not found".  The
software and driver has been removed and reinstalled with no change.  The
uiserve.dll file is located in both c:\program
files\accessories\backup\system and C:\program files\seagate software\bacup
